Are they Space Marines or Primaris, there is quite a bit of difference.

Yes. About 1' of difference.

Dont know how deep story viable Space Marines will be but GW is returning to film genre.
I couldnt stand their last attempt but it had its fans.

You should definitely check the Youtube channel of the guy behind the project. Style is way better than their previous work

I got the feeling some of the shots (looking up towards the Imperator Titan for instance) were reworked directly from Helsreach.

Helsreach is pretty awesome though, and follows the book pretty closely as well.

It still has me contemplating converting and building Grimaldus' squad...

The visual style fits the characters well in more ways than one (their armour is black and white, and so is their outlook on life)  and it's certainly interesting, in a very way

But i'd rather see a full length movie along the lines of . Another fan-made short, but a darn good one. A two hour long movie made like that could finally break the chain of decidedly bad movies GW put out.

I personally have never seen (I just saw it's available these days though ), and it was a shame how that was blocked by GW at such a late stage. If I recall correctly, it was finished, the creators were invited to Nottingham for a screening at GW behind closed doors, and after the end credits rolled, they were told that it was great, but GW would never allow it to be released, over the sound of marching lawyers in the background.

But apparently, it was not bad (certainly better than anything GW ever made or sanctioned; anyone remember Inquisitor? ).

Just a note, Guardsman is made by the same guy that makes Helsreach

Well, that explains that then...

There's more to it than that fluff wise. They don't have the same indoctrination to the chapters as they haven't come the same route. Many of them are not veterans of many campaigns either.

They have fluff?

Yes, but it's all Easy-to-Build...

So I made the mistake of going into my local GW last week (On my Birthday no less heh) with the other half. So while idly chatting for a bit with the staff the other half spots the Nighthaunt figure range and asks what they are and how she now wants some.

Her interest in this hobby comes and goes but she loves all the Horror tropes.

So the oher day I went and bought her some bits for her Xmas pressie.

This can either go 1 of 2 ways:

1 - She throws the figures at me annoyed and I get a new army along with a bump on my head.

Or

2 - I'm going to be forever skint as she'll will want more and more of the range.

Places your bets here.

Edit: Either way I'll be having to paint the buggers

[Mason]

Yes, but it's all Easy-to-Build...

And BIGGER!

[mcfonz]

And more accessible!!!

OH THE HORROR!!

[von Lucky]

Who doesn't? It's a great range - and the cheapest way to get the miniatures gets you an army too (YMMV).

[Dr Mathias]

I haven't had much interest in Fantasy Battle since 1992, up until the new undead that is. I think they're pretty damn awesome.

[beefcake]

I've just developed an interest for the Daemons and Beastmen. Better put up a wanted notice here soon I think.

[Ultravanillasmurf]

Not sure if this has been noted elsewhere, but the 40K Conquest partwork for this week has the Munitorium Container.

Certainly cheaper than buying the box set from GW, and about the same as some online vendors.

If there are any left....
